I'm shore 600 will break it down for us. I'd like to know how we as a group did.

Sorry.. I was away for dinner with the wife. I'll gather the #'s and make them equal.

The Novices and other classes get what they call a PAX applied to them for the final result #. It's based on class, car type, and some other crap that I don't agree with. If you lok where I fall, I beat half the field and wind up pretty far down when they apply the handicap.

Axware should have the raw results which is what we want so the #'s for everyone are on the same playing field.

Nick and Larry, next time we do this I'll help you get through the course to get completed runs. It was not an easy course for a novice. You needed to have an instructor ride with you to identify where you went off course.

First off, congrats to the winners! You guys know how to drive, and hats off to you!

But 600, I did have an instructor with me each time for all three of my runs. The first one, at 101 seconds, I could not have missed a gate I took it so slow. The second one, I know the gate I missed, and the instructor pointed it out (it was the first gate after the first slalom - I saw a bunch of folks miss that one while working the course). The third one, you can even hear the announcer in Eric's video "71.392, clean and on course..." I take that to mean that I didn't miss a gate? And my instructor said I hit all the gates. Is it because I had to leave and I didn't do all the runs? They have a result posted for a fourth run, but I didn't even do a forth run.

I know I drove it slow, but if "+ DSQ" mean I disqualified, I don't understand why. I look at it as a learning experience, and I want to know what I did wrong so I don't do it again, but I don't think it was because I missed a gate...?

EDIT - wow...aside from the Jr. Karts, I had the worst times...man, I drive like a wimp! Remind me to thank my mom for all of those driving lessons she gave me as a kid.

Milloni I think you were DQ because you didnt finish the rest of the runs because you had to leave early. I was moving my car over to the car show area and the lady asked if I was leaving. I told her no and I would be back shortly, she then told me if other people dont come back to finish their runs they would be DQ, but by that time you had already left.

We spent a good amount of time protecting the leading edges with tape...what do the cones do if we hit them? I envision just a bit of a scuff that can be buffed out? Is that the case, or do they leave a lasting mark?

anyone see the closed camaro fest 3 thread?...nobody in the NE that has the time to run a full blown event?....really now....i say we have our own...im going to make a call to some local tracks over the next few weeks...molloni...you with me?

I feel bad for Charlie because the dude was just yelling at him from in his car "THAT CONE'S NOT SUPPOSE TO BE THERE!!!" and he's just like because we had only been working the course for maybe 1/2hour (it's easy to lose track of time). After the dude drives on (and ruins the run for the guy behind him), Charlie was like "I don't know, it's been there the whole time."

Yea the cone was in a box that had an x in it. But like I said I never touched the cone and it was there from the beginning. So I pic up the cone and asked were to put it ( expecting the worse) and he said he didn't frigging care just not there. Trust me I didn't let it reck the day but dam to yell the way he did was def Not wright. I had an excellent time and I beat the hell out of the track for the ass chew I got.

Ya I started at corner 2 with the radio man and after about 6 runs to set the cone Charlie traded places with me. I guess he felt sorrry for the grey haired old man. But the young man at that sharp corner 3 got a hell of a work out. That cone was hit just about every other run.
